I think you mis-understand. Mountlo seems to allow one to mount(through FUSE) any filesystem image for which there is a linux kernelkernel driver available. This is a very nice capability.

But what I speak of is to port the 100% feature-complete (andwell-tested) befs driver from the Haiku project's kernel to the FUSE interface. This should be a considerably easier task than porting itto the linux kernel vfs interface. Among other reasons for this, partsof Haiku's kernel (including their befs driver) are written in c++.
